The eco-region I had to study was the Piney Woods which is located in the northern eastern part of Texas. Here are some pictures of the Piney Woods so you’ll get an idea of what I’m talking about. –
Piney woods has a humid subtropical climate zone. So annual rainfall is fairly uniformly distributed throughout the year, and humidity and temperatures are typically high. If you ever visit the Piney Woods eco-region, which I recommend doing because it’s a beautiful place as it seems, you should expect a lot of wild life animals all over the place. Here is some examples: White-tailed Deer, Bobcats, Gray Foxes, Eagles (along with a bunch of other kinds of birds), Cottonmouths (Moccasins), etc. As for the vegetation you’ll see lots of herbaceous vegetation and obviously see lots and lots of trees, you can probably already tell just by reading the name. Just to be more specific here are some examples of some vegetation you’ll most likely spot: Oaks, Elms, Hickories, Pecan, Black Walnut, Tupelo, Sweetgum, and others. Also, shortleaf, longleaf, and loblolly pine are the three native species of southern yellow pine that occupy these commercially important forests. When researching all of this information I found interesting fact that I wanted to share. Fact:
Large scale settlements came to the Pineywoods as a result of the timber boom of the mid- to late 1800s.
